Treat the data as a sample and find the proportion of presidents who were taller than their opponents. Use that result to construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population percentage. Based on the result, does it appear that greater height is an advantage for presidential candidates? Why or why not? Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of presidents who were taller than their opponents. If greater height was an advantage, then taller candidates should have won (more than,less than,exactly) 50% of the elections. In this case, greater height (appears,does not appear) to be an advantage for presidential candidates because the confidence interval (does,does not) include 50%.arrow_forwardLab 8 webassign.net/web/Student/Assignment-Responses/submit?dep=30432597&tags=autosave#question4852416_8 X WCh 4 Practice Assignment - BA X b Answered: A = {E2, E4} B = Suppose that we have a sample space with five equally likely experimental outcomes: E₁, E₂, E3, E4, E5.
